I have been practicing Ashtanga yoga since 1996. I have studied extensively with Nancy Gilgoff since 2003, spending 2-3 months each year in Maui to practice with her and following her all over the world from the U.S. to Europe to attend her adjustment clinics and workshops. Prior to Nancy, I studied with Manju Jois from 1999-2003 and still currently enjoy taking his workshops. Prior to Manju, my first teacher was Beryl Bender Birch from 1996-1999.

I began teaching Ashtanga yoga in 1998. Having been a personal trainer and fitness educator and instructor since 1990, I have a strong background in anatomy and kinesiology and have done hands-on work with clients since 1990. In 2001, I took the leap to dedicate my life to teaching and practicing Ashtanga yoga, opening my studio BeFit Body & Mind YOGA on April 2, 2001—and never looked back.
